I have a site with SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS = True in the settings,  
which means I get both legitimate 404s and also probes where the bot  
is being clever by putting the fake URL in the referer heading.

Today I got a series of 404 messages that were alarming because they  
were probing legitimate urls with parts of my application structure  
appended to the end. Something like 
http://mysite.com/actual/url/appname.modelname 
, with the name of an app and a model stuck on the end with a dot in  
between, just like you'd see in a python import statement.

I can't think of any place in the public-facing site where the names  
of any models appear directly, let alone the name of an app. This  
makes me nervous. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I can't  
think of any immediate threat it could pose, but nevertheless this  
seems like a Bad Thing. Any words of wisdom?

Thanks,
Eric
